Its somewhat comical that some of you texas fans really seem to think starting a redshirt freshman is no big deal. Whats really funny is the implied impression that losing Vince Young isnt really going to impact the offense. that one really boggles my mind.

Sorry to nitpick again, but it's spelled Snead, and he is considered the much better talent. Also, not that it amounts to much, but Snead will actually be a grayshirt freshman, as he is already enrolled, and participated in spring practice. I still don't think it takes a superstar to throw a quick slant against or a fade to a 6'5" receiver when you have nine in the box. But no matter. Also, the decision on who will be QB will most lilkely not be decided by opening day against Denton High, and may not even be decided by tOSU game, as all comments and indications from the coaches are that we will do some type of 2 QB system. (I know that I just opened up a whole new can of worms for you to chomp on, but just wanted to let you know in case you didn't read the previous posts.) Lastly, I apologize if I implied the impression that losing Vince will not impact the offense, as I am more trying to portray what I think you will see from our offense in this game to account for the chasm that Vince left in our offensive production. Everyone knows that this will be a huge impact as he was responsible for most of our offense last year, but I am also of the impression that UT has an immense amount of talent on the offensive side, and Greg Davis will be changing the offense to accentuate our strengths, which should result in a different look and scheme. Less zone read for example. Will your defense be impacted by the loss of Carp, Hawk, Salley, Youboty, etc.? Exactly, that's what we are discussing here.
